[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A ‘home training practical’ education program to maintain health against COVID-19 was conducted on YouTube.

On the 26th at 3 p.m., the Busan Western Office of Education held a live practical education program on ‘Stretching and Strength Training Using TheraBands’ through the ‘Western Office of Education YouTube Channel’ for middle school students, parents, and faculty members in the district.

This education was prepared to increase students’ physical activity and reduce the loss of practical physical education classes by providing online home training practical education that families can participate in together at home during the COVID-19 situation.

Physical education teacher Kim Han-jin from Haeyeon Middle School and instructor Choi Ok-soo from the Gyeongnam Sports Association guided various stretching and strength training methods using different TheraBands.

Students, parents, and faculty members who participated in the education followed the instructors’ practical demonstrations, tried the exercises themselves, and received feedback on incorrect movements.

You can watch the program anytime by entering ‘Seobu Education Support Office Secondary Education Support Division’ in the YouTube search bar.

When the marine sports experience class for first-year middle school students was canceled due to COVID-19, the Western Office of Education gifted TheraBands to all 4,000 first-year middle school students to encourage regular physical exercise at home.

Superintendent Seo Seong-hee said, “This education consists of content that can be easily and simply done at home, so it will be very helpful for students and parents who spend a lot of time indoors due to COVID-19 to maintain their physical fitness.”
